NBA Star Greg Oden Apologizes For Naked Photos

NBA star Greg Oden, 22, has apologized for naked cell phone photos he took of himself that landed on the Internet this week.

In a quick press conference the Portland Trailblazers center said:

“First, I’d like to apologize to everybody … Portland, the fans, the organization. It was very embarrassing.  It was something that happened over a year and a half ago.

It was a lady friend who I was having a relationship with, and it was just for her. It was definitely meant to keep private.  I’m very sorry, and I’m definitely embarrassed for my family and everybody.

“I definitely learned a lot since it happened. I’ve definitely matured since then. You have to be careful with what you do, and who you trust.”

There were a series of three self-taken photos reportedly sent to WorldStarHipHop.com, where Oden is seen facing a mirror while taking full frontal reflection pics with a camera phone.
